Minnesota Tabletop Market

And our final sponsor for the market is, of course, Tower Games! Warhammer, board games, D&D, Pokemon, they've got it all (oh shoot, I forgot to mention Magic, there's that too. Oh and also, you know what, this bit's getting old). Come stop in to their beautiful store in Minneapolis! Like really, it looks gorgeous my goodness.

If you weren't able to sign up for our TTM this spring, head on over to Bored Games Events and sign up for their event at Torg Brewery this June 1st!

Hey! We have a limited number of tables available for the Board Game Swap Meet at Torg Brewery on June 1st.

Swap Meet Details here: https://www.facebook.com/events/1943355259457073

Sign up here: https://forms.gle/zXgGBb78BeiWbcVc7 - you will be contacted with confirmation once tables are filled.

It's less than a week away! The Spring Minnesota Tabletop Market will be held this Saturday at the Broken Clock Brewing Coop! Make sure to stop by to get some fantastic deals on games of all kinds!

Our second sponsor is, of course, the illustrious Source Comics and Games. Okay, maybe I'm a little bias on that one. The Source has some of the largest selection of board games and comics in the Twin Cities area. Do you know how many times I've heard the phrase "Oh wow, it's bigger than I thought?" More than you could possibly imagine. Come say hi up in Roseville!

It's sponsor time once again, everyone! We're counting down the days to the next Tabletop Market by shouting out the stores that are making it all happen. First up is All Systems Go - Games & Movies! Located in Northeast Minneapolis, they've got a huge selection of both new and used board games, TTRPGs, video games, and DVDs. And I know I said this last time but also the building they're in is so punk.

Happy Monday everyone!

We are about two weeks away before we have our Spring event on April 27th! We want to shout out Broken Clock Brewing Cooperative for once again hosting us at their location. They have been great to work with at their space and we are looking forward to working with them again this year! Be sure to stop by before and after to try out their beer on tap!

A couple of items:
We are currently at capacity for table sign up events this year. You can sign up to be on our waiting list by emailing us (at) minnesotatabletopmarket (at) gmail (dot) com.

If you did fill out the form - you are registered and confirmed to be ready to go at Tabletop Market this year! A couple of concerns were confirmation emails about attending. Rest assured, you are good to go if you filled out the form. :)

Lastly, once again be on the lookout from scammers saying that they are taking payment about spaces at Tabletop Market. I think we've been able to keep those posts at bay for now.

Thanks and be on the look out for more posts this week leading up to the event!

Hello Minnesota Tabletop Market goers...Marketers? Marketeers???

Taking place the same day as our next market is the Twin Cities Board Game Marathon. Please check out their event!

Hey y'all, if you're getting tired of small businesses directly asking for you to come shop / eat / drink at them, believe me, we're tired of having to say it so directly too 🥲 I would so much rather be using my energy to get our new 3D printing operation up and running, finally launching the Bandada Kickstarter, or helping you find the perfect game when you're in the store.

Post-holiday is slow for everyone, and we're no exception. January & February were better than our 2023 in those same months, but a far cry from where we would like to be on a normal month. One of the big things we're seeing this year with the warm weather is LOTS of trades coming into the shop in these normally cold months when people normally don't want to haul totes of board games across town.

This has also had the effect of LOTS of store credit being spent again, both on new releases & special order requests. We're trying hard to meet all those requests, but when less cash is being spent in the store, it makes it a little challenging.

Which brings me to the first part of my ask for the day; please help us move some of these great used games to new homes (namely, your home!). We have 1100+ in stock items on the website right now, nearly 800 of them being used! Send one to a friend! Heck, send 5 to a friend! [Here's a quick link directly to those -> https://allsystemsgo.games/used ]

Preorders, special orders, and buying gift cards are always great & appreciated too, but grabbing a game we've already paid for helps immensely more!

The second ask is a little more involved: if you haven't been to the shop in a month, two months, or more, we'd genuinely love to hear (either in comments or messages if that's more comfortable) what we can do to get you here more frequently!

love & appreciate y'all -Anders

Two more sleeps and then we dance the dance of tabletop. Please let us know if you have any last minute questions!

All Vendors!! I just sent the Load In/Out and other info email. Please keep an eye out for it. Thanks!

Heads up, vendors!! I will be emailing all of you with the "day of" instructions, late on Monday. Want to make a visit to Broken Clock and see if some of the things that they said might happen, did happen (all amazing news for us). It's Halloween, so I will leave you all in suspense as to what changes were made :). Also need to do a last walkthrough of our layout.

Looking forward to seeing all of you there! Let us know if there are any questions!

Two weeks out from so it's once again time to look at another super cool game store... and also our sponsor. This week it's All Systems Go!

Housed in like the coolest brick building I have ever seen, ASG was originally created as an online store, but now has an in-person location on Central Ave in Minneapolis. Unlike these other, purely analogue stores that we've featured thus far, ASG also does video games, which is super cool! So you can get the complete gaming-fix package. They even have a rental program and... hold on, why am I still typing this? I should be going down there right now that sounds amazing.

Hello, All! Just got back from the Bourbon Trail in Kentucky. I finally was able to send out the payment email for vendors. Please check your inboxes!

Only three weeks until . Are you all getting pumped? Good, because today we're introducing another of our returning and generous sponsors, Tower Games!

Located in Southern Minneapolis, Tower Games also features a play area with many regular events including Warhammer 40k and Dungeons and Dragons. They also have a real snazzy online store where you can order for pick-up or shipping. Totally radical!

They're also home to Fight in a Box Games. If you've been to any game store in the area, you might have heard of them. Yeah, they made a little game called Squirrel or Die. Which is pretty cool!

We're less than a month away from this fall's , so you know what that means: it's time to shout out our sponsors, starting with the ineffable and omnipresent Source Comics and Games!

For over thirty years, the Source has been serving up games and comics to the greater Twin Cities area. And since arriving at their current location in Roseville, have boasted one of the largest hobby shops in the area as well!

The Source also features numerous weekly events, featuring just about every trading card game you can think of. That's right, they don't only have Magic and Pokemon, but also Flesh and Blood, One Piece, Lorcana, and oh wow that list just keeps right on going, huh? In addition, there's also paint night every Monday, perfect for experts and amateurs looking to swap tips and have a fun evening painting minitures!

Click See more to read more about our seller prices increasing and what the $$$ goes to:

We want to provide some transparency to what it takes to run Minnesota Tabletop Market and why we set our prices the way we do. Prices did increase for this event for a space (from $25 to $40 for our standard spaces) but we want discuss where the money is going to and announce something we haven't done before.

For the last 6 events, Paul and I haven't paid ourselves for our time to plan, setup organize and promote the event. This year, we'd like to pay ourselves a small amount for the work that we do for the event. As this has grown each year, it takes coordination and extra time to ensure everything goes well so that plays a part as to why prices are increasing.

Other costs are our event space rental which expanded from the Haralson room to the entire(!) taproom for the last and this event. We also have to book out the pickleball courts so that other people don't play pickleball while you shop! We also pay for graphic designers to do the flyers and the surprising high costs of printing flyers. We also put in some money on Facebook for ads to showcase around as well. We also want to handsomely tip the MCC staff for the amount of people that come in within those last two hours.

If there are big concerns with the cost in the price - feel free to comment below or email us. We want to hear feedback! We do not want to make this expensive for the 3 hours but we hope that our turnout each year makes it worth it for every seller out there.

Thanks for reading!
